About Julie

Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also addresses a wide range of related difficulties including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and domestic violence. Julie combines practical symptom-focused strategies with attention to each person’s lived experience.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered principles and techniques drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused work. She aims to co-create realistic, goal-oriented plans that target patterns of thinking and behavior while honoring clients’ personal values and strengths.

Over her three years of clinical practice she has worked across settings and brings a focus on assessment, relapse prevention, and trauma-informed care. Julie offers sessions in multiple online formats to increase access and flexibility.

Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability to explore whether her style and methods are a good fit.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Skill Building

Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction patterns, and stress management. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship that supports exploration of personal goals and values. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are applied when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Julie works with each client to review goals, preferences, and progress so the methods chosen evolve with changing needs and outcomes. The plan is adjusted together rather than imposed, allowing clients to test strategies and decide what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit work, family, and health demands. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions, while scheduling can be adjusted according to availability to reduce barriers to regular treatment.
